Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES:

2 cupsAlmond Flour

3 TablespoonsErythritol Crystals

1 TablespoonGround Ginger

40 dropsLiquid Vanilla Stevia

4 ounces, weightCream Cheese

FOR THE GLAZE:

½ cupsPowdered Erythritol

1 TablespoonEgg White Powder

1 TablespoonFreshly Squeezed Organic Lemon Juice, Up To Double The Amount If Needed

10 dropsLiquid Stevia

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 250°F or slightly lower (100°C).

2. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, erythritol and ginger.

3. Add the vanilla stevia drop by drop, so that the drops are well apart from each other.

4. Add the cream cheese, mix and knead until smooth.

5. Divide the dough in 4–5 pieces. Take one piece at a time for handling. You can keep the rest of the dough in the fridge.

6. Place the piece of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place another parchment paper on the dough.

7. Roll out the dough until it is approximately 1/5 inch (0.5 cm) thick.. Remove the topmost parchment paper and cut out cookies using your preferred cookie cutter.

8. Transfer the cookies with a spatula or cheese slicer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for some 30 minutes, or until golden brown but not too brown.

9. Let cool completely on the parchment paper.

10. For the glaze, in a small bowl, combine the powdered erythritol, egg white powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the stevia and stir until smooth.

11. Add more lemon juice drop by drop until you get the consistency you want.

12. Apply the glaze on completely cooled cookies with a spoon or a tip of a knife.

13. Place the cookies on a plate or cooling rack and let the glaze dry and harden for several hours, preferably overnight. The glazed cookies shouldn’t touch each other.
